Brooklyn Square

Brooklyn Square — A Deep Disappointment Masquerading as New York Pizza Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) Brooklyn Square markets itself with the confidence of a New York–style pizza institution, but my visit revealed a product and experience that fell dramatically short of that promise. Between the lackluster execution and a serious food safety issue, this was one of the most disappointing pizza outings I’ve had in recent memory. Ambiance – 2/5 The atmosphere was busy and energetic, which initially suggested popularity and strong demand. However, beyond the crowd, there was little about the space that evoked the charm or authenticity of a true New York pizzeria. It felt more commercial than crafted. Authenticity – 1/5 Let’s address the core claim: this is not New York–style pizza. The crust lacked t

This places sells New York food in la. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their cheese ricotta balls, New York barbecue chicken slice, pepperoni honey dinero square, spicy pepperoni square, New York pastrami sando, black and white cookie, brownie, and New York crumb cake. The cheese balls had a crisp exterior with a savory cheesy interior and came with like a marinara cheese sauce. Pretty yummy. All the pizza slices were HUGE. Legit could cut them all in half. The New York barbecue chicken one had a thin chewy yet crisp crust with a decent amount of chicken and onions with lots of sweet tangy barbecue sauce drizzled on top. It also was a bit spicy from some jalapeños which I liked. The pepperoni honey dinero square had a fluffy bready crust with sweet dollops of ricotta an

As a born and raised Italian from Brooklyn, I have to say Brooklyn Square truly feels like home. From the moment you walk in, you feel that real New York energy. The pizza is the real deal — crispy, flavorful, and made with the kind of care and tradition we grew up on. It’s not easy to find authentic New York–style pizza in California, but they absolutely nailed it. The sauce, the cheese, and the crust remind me of the neighborhood pizzerias back in Brooklyn. Even the sandwiches and pastas taste like the Sunday dinners I grew up with. The staff is warm, welcoming, and treats you like family, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for true New York flavor and heart, this is the place. We will definitely be back. 🤌🍕 Capice?

One of the best pizza places I’ve had! The food tasted so good, I got the buffalo chicken pizza for my sister and Grandma for myself. I was across the street at color me mine when I saw this place after painting. The atmosphere is so nice and relaxing. Whoever chose the music has great taste! Glad I went in to check it out!

Got the square grandma pepperoni: When we picked it up it was hot and we took it home. The pizza visually was a light white/off yellow. The sauce sort of just splotched in the middle, which I think is the style this place is going for, but again, visually unappealing. The pepperoni are 2, maybe 3 times too thick, and they taste as if they came from a Lunchables . The dough of the pizza is thick and almost flavorless. Unfortunately the only flavor that comes through is sugar. I get no salt, no acid, just sugar and bland dough. The edges have a little crunch from the parmagana, which when removed from the crust an eaten by itself was enjoyable. Im sad to say I wouldn't have eaten this pizza if it cost half the price. It really just felt like a square version of frozen pizza.
